TWU
GYMNASTS HONORED BY LEGISLATURE
AUSTIN,
TX—Texas legislators honored the Texas Woman's
University national championship gymnastic team this week
in two separate resolutions.
Senate
Resolution 751, introduced by Sen. Craig Estes (R-Wichita Falls), was approved by the Texas Senate on May 5. House

The

the 2003 USA Gymnastics Collegiate National Championships,
hosted by TWU. Nine TWU gymnasts were named All-Americans
for their performances at national competition, and TWU's

the uneven bars.
The
win was TWU's seventh national championship since 1992.
“I
applaud the TWU gymnastics team for their outstanding accomplishment,” said
Rep. Crownover. “They have brought honor to their campus,
to the city of Denton and to the state of Texas by defeating
two-time, defending national champion the U.S. Air Force
Academy. Let's celebrate their wonderful tradition of excellence.”
“Texas
Woman's University's gymnasts are first-class athletes and
true champions. These exemplary young women are role models
for all Texas students with their performance in competition
and in the classroom,” said Sen. Estes.
The
TWU gymnastics team consists of: Jennifer Bolli, Jessica
Brozovich, Lindsey Clowers, Kristin Forgge, Dana Giametta,
Rachel Goddard, Kim Holland, Lauren Kondikoff, Stephanie
Loudat, Chelsie Leggett, Erin MacNabb, Amber McMeans, Aubree
